Sustain Pedal does not work MainStage 3.0.1.....bug

Hello I have a simple set up, a piano sound from MainStage and I assigned my keyboard using MIO connectivity or Presonus interface, my sustain pedal signal #64 does not work. I tried different pedals and as well different interfaces and still not working.

I can see the MIDI signal going to the MainStage just fine but it wont sustain the note. I readed the follow article saying that APPLE knows already this issue, I want to verify is that is true and when the fix will be available. I bought the software to play at church and at this moment I am not able to play at all

Check layout mode to see how the sustain pedal is assigned there. In the snapshot, you'll notice the sustain pedal is selected. In the screen control inspector the pedal is assigned to a keyboard and all the other parameters are set.

You can see how it's set up in edit mode. Select the pedal. This snaphot shows that it is unmapped but is set to same as input.

The next one shows send to all>Kawai MP9000 destinations. I use this with multiple keyboards to make it easy to keep up with assignments.

I don't know of any known issues where the sustain pedal doesn't work. If you still have trouble, let me know the make and model keyboard you use. It should be easy.

In your patch list in edit mode I don't see any patches. Create a patch, assign an instrument to a channel strip and see if the pedal sustains.

I found a thread that will help you. It seems the RD250 sends an all notes off command after the last note is played. You need to block this command. I'll describe it in case I don't properly attach the link. In layout mode, create a screen control( a button, slider, or whatever). Assign it to cc# 123(all notes off) and set MIDI thru to do not pass through. It should block that MIDI command.

Lifenoise sorry for the late response, I didnt see your last replied so I kind gave up on the forum, today I updated the MainStage to 3.0.2 and decided to give a shot, and it didn't work. So I was came here to update the forum and I saw your response about commmadn cc#123. I set the way u told me and works like a charm.

I want to thank you for taking your time and solve my problem it really means to me a lot. Now I will be able to play my keyboard at church like I always wanted.

Thanks again
